Unique, Effective Treatment for Eating Disorders

We understand that every body is unique and we believe that every individual is worthy of love and respect. We’ll help you establish a healthy relationship with food and begin to love your body as it is – regardless of your body type or size.

Bringing Order to Your Eating Disorder

Eating disorders can be challenging to treat. Effective treatment needs to combine best-practice approaches with compassion and a deep understanding of their underlying causes.

The Body Image Therapy Center (TBITC) is unlike any other outpatient eating disorder therapy service and outpatient treatment program you will find. We help you bring order to your eating disorder.

Located in Central Maryland and D.C., TBITC and its team of highly qualified, licensed professionals seek to be a catalyst for positive change for women, men, teens and adolescents as young as 10 who suffer from an eating disorder. Our program is staffed by those with a vested interest in treating eating disorders either because they are recovered themselves or have a loved one who has struggled, so we understand your struggles from both a personal and a professional perspective.

Individual, Group and Intensive Outpatient Therapy for Any Body

Our team offers individual and group therapy as well as intensive outpatient therapy. We are experienced in treating body image disorders, anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and self-harm behaviors such as cutting.

We help you dig into issues such as self-esteem and feeling a loss of control that typically are at the root of eating disorders and other self-harm behaviors. That’s in stark contrast to many programs that deal primarily with the symptoms of the eating disorder without getting to its roots.

Don’t Wait to Get Help

If you or your loved one may have an eating disorder, don’t wait to get help. In the United States alone, it’s estimated 30 million people will suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their life. And nearly 50 years of research confirms that anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder.

The Body Image Therapy Center is here to help you and your family. Please give us a call at (877)-674-2843 today or CLICK HERE to contact our Intake Coordinator.

“We need more brave men like Andrew Walen speaking out about their eating disorders to break down some of the stigmas that are barriers to effective treatments. Fat bullying and shaming are harmful and often can lead to dieting and shame which can be triggers for an eating disorder in someone who is biologically predisposed.”

Becky HenryFounder, Hope Network for Eating Disorders Caregivers

“Your kind of work — both your content and your style — are much needed in the female-crowded world of eating disorder recovery. There needs to be a movement for the normalization of men with eating disorders just as there was for women with alcoholism. And I believe you are going to be an important part of bringing that about.”

Thom RutledgeAuthor of Embracing Fear, and co-author of Life Without Ed

“Mr. Walen tells the tale of his journey from shame and self-destruction to a caring, whole individual reaching out to others to help with their pain. His writing is clear, witty and engaging. Even if you don’t have an eating disorder, his story of courage and insight is inspirational.”
